Kamui Gakutto

Kamui Gakutto is the derivative and twin brother of Kamui Gakupo. He is named after Gakupo' s voice provider, GACKT. The pronunciation and Kanji of his name also resembles GACKT. His alternate form as a samurai is the Dragon of Echigo, Kagetora Nagao (Best known as Uesugi Kenshin)

Design
His appearance is quite similar toGakupo except that his robe and hakama are black and blue, and his take attached on his ponytail and headphones are blue as well. Gakutto's alternate colors are black and grey with soulless eyes and tiny pupils meaning he is under possession. This alternate-colored appearance is seen on hisMMD model.

His alternate appearance wears a black long-sleeved shirt with black laces on front, around his waist is a black corset with four silver hooks (some artworks show the hooks are three) aligned in a vertical position, a long layered skirt that merely exposes his right leg and black leather boots. His hair is tied up to a ponytail with a fringe which quite conceals his right eye. This design resembles GACKT ’s clothing when he performed Episode.0 on Music Station.

Description
Gakutto is a samurai who was said to be the Dragon of Echigo reborn because of his skills when engaging in battle.

Personality
Gakutto is calm and kind-hearted outside combat. He cares for everyone who is close to him and he “always lets his heart show” to other people in need. He is also a singer when joining any talent competition or any events. But when in combat, he is a skilled samurai who is protective, strategic and serious, even when taking the challenges he was given. His personality changes when Uesugi Kenshin takes over his body.

Background
Gakutto once lived a joyful life at the age of 7 in Okinawa. His parents were killed by Lechku and Nechku (disguised as humans) on the day the first battle of Kawanakajima happened (September 10). A spark of hatred filled him, thirsty for vengeance against the twin demons. But he wasn’t strong enough to take them by himself so he waited for the right time.

He was trained to be a samurai at the age of 12 by Tetsuya Kagetora. As Gakutto learns the ways of a samurai, his thirst for vengeance against Lechku and Nechku grew intense. At the age of 18, he gained the knowledge of knowing the daimyo who ruled Echigo in the Sengoku Period and learns his ways of fighting in combat.

On February 18 (Birth of Uesugi Kenshin) Gakutto faces the demons Lechku and Nechku at the Wawku Shrine. He stood tall before them, with raging blue eyes while the twin demons stood before him, thrashing in the dark sky. Gakutto leapt ferociously at them as he swings his sword at them, on and on. He gained the upper hand and defeated Nechku, but Lechku escaped, enraging Gakutto’s heart. Gakutto vowed that a time will come and he will defeat Lechku very soon and his parents will be avenged.
